Prince's ex-wife Mayte Garcia reveals she wants lookalike actress Zendaya to play her in biopic - as she details heartbreaking tragedy she's most terrified of watching on-screen
The dancer and actress, 50, married the late music icon on Valentine's Day 1996 - when she was just 22 and he was 37 - before the couple parted ways in 1999.
Now, as the world prepares to watch her story on the big screen, Mayte exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com that she feels Zendaya, 27, could capture her 'essence' - just weeks after she considered Selena Gomez for the job. Mayte discussed possible casting last week, revealing she had her eyes on former Disney star Gomez, 31, who recently landed the role of Linda Ronstadt in an upcoming biopic. When it comes to casting her ex, Mayte explained that she would prefer if a less well-known actor landed the role - stating that it would give them the chance to truly embody the beloved musician for the project.
